The  Launching 


One  ship  drives  east  and  another  drives  'west 
With  the  selfsame  winds  that  blow; 

’Tis  the  set  of  the  sails 

And  not  the  gales 

That  tells  them  the  way  to  go.

’ANY  college  crafts  are  launching  these  days  out  from  small 
harbors  into  the  ocean  of  larger  purposes,  increased  activities 
and  more  extended  service.  They  are  setting  sails  to  stiffer 
gales  than  ever  they  have  known. 


Baldwin-Wallace,  at  Berea,  Ohio,  launched  its  New  Day  last  Sunday, 
March  twenty  six.  It  was  the  formal  beginning  of  the  great  undertaking 
to  set  the  college  on  a worthy  financial  foundation.  Many  people  par- 
ticipated in  the  launching. 


It  is  always  a time  for  serious,  sober  thinking  when  one  launches  on 
an  untried  sea.  It  is  a gala  occasion,  too,  even  though  storms  and  choppy 
seas  await.  But  the  lauching  is  prophetic  of  the  safe  arrival  at  a fair 
haven  after  the  journey. 

The  launching  of  the  New  Day  was  celebrated  in  many  pulpits  by 
the  presentation  of  the  thrilling  theme  of  Christian  education. 


The  New  Day  is  launched.  Sails  are  set.  Winds  may  be  heavy  and 
seas  rough,  but  it  is  a goodly  ship.  The  authorization  of  the  church  is 
its  ballast.  The  haven  is  distant  but  the  unfailing  Pilot  is  aboard. 
With  the  cooperation  and  prayer  of  its  believing  friends,  the  New  Day 
will  reach  port. 


A Wedding  and  a Gift 


HE  was  tall,  slender,  with  radiant,  golden  locks.  She  was  what 
one  thinks  of  as  a bride.  He  was  stalwart,  broad  shouldered, 
' forward  looking.  She  was  Mary;  he  was  John.  Their  whole 
circumference  of  life  was  bounded  by  each  other. 


In  southern  Ohio  they  were  married.  Romance  and  hopes,  ambitions 
and  dreams  filled  their  hearts.  That  was  fifty  years  ago.  They  are  still 
bride  and  groom — this  Mary  and  this  John.  Her  figure  is  more  matronly 
and  her  locks  are  silvered.  His  figure  shows  the  touch  of  years  and  his 
hair  is  white.  Through  half  a century  they  have  been  good  servants 
of  Jesus  Christ. 

Beginning  with  a small  amount  of  worldly  goods,  they  were  thrifty  and 
frugal,  with  that  gift  which  knows  how  to  take  a nickel  and  grow  a 
quarter  in  its  place.  Salaries  were  never  large,  but  this  bride  and  groom 
believed  they  were  stewards  of  God’s  property  and  always  acknowledged 
their  stewardship.  They  invested,  added  to  their  holdings  and  recognized 
always  their  obligation  to  Him  whose  are  the  silver  and  the  gold. 


Last  week  Mary  and  John  again  stepped  to  the  strains  of  the  wedding 
march,  just  as  fifty  years  ago,  and  celebrated  the  Golden  Anniversary 
of  their  nuptials  on  the  banks  of  the  Ohio. 

The  bride  and  groom  received  many  gifts.  The  most  noteworthy  one, 
however,  was  from  them,  not  to  them.  For  years  he  has  been  the  devoted 
treasurer  of  Baldwin- Wallace  College,  putting  into  its  welfare  his  very 
life  and  counting  nothing  sacrifice  if  only  the  college  might  propsper.  On 
the  day  of  this  crowning  event  in  their  lives,  Mary  and  John,  whom  the 
world  knows  as  Doctor  and  Mrs.  J.  C.  Marting,  honored  themselves,  their 
college  and  their  Lord  with  a gift  of  one  hundred  thousand  dollars  to 
Baldwin-Wallace,  which  they  have  loved  so  sincerely  and  served  so 
worthily. 

This  Golden  Wedding  Gift  is  one  of  the  three  pledges  of  one  hundred 
thousand  dollars  announced  incognito  through  the  recent  months.  The 
trustees,  faculty,  students,  patrons  and  friends  of  Baldwin-Wallace  are 
especially  pleased  with  this  great  and  generous  announcement  because  of 
who  the  donors  are,  the  amount  they  give,  and  the  spirit  in  which 
they  give  it. 

Congratulations  and  all  hail  to  the  bride  and  groom,  the  golden  wed- 
ding, the  golden  gift,  and  the  college  to  which  they  gave  it.
